THIS IS ME

Sonic journey with Alex Madeline on the saxophone

After discovering a love for the saxophone at age 14, I embarked on a musical journey with a mission - to create compositions that bring novel sonic experiences to the international jazz stage.

As a French-born artist and now New York City jazz scene composer and saxophonist, I infuse my worlds into my music.

 

I am always seeking for the stories untold, both on stage and in the studio and sometimes just in time to be captured on record.

I create in the flow of experimentation, allowing an experience, thought, emotion or dream lingering in my mind to take form in a piano progression. Each arrangement of notes unfolds organically, revealing itself and evolving into unexpected directions - into fully realized compositions.

Music is the voice of balance in a world of diversity. And Jazz, to truly hear and understand it, one must remain open— to the flow of the inner tempo, the exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the beauty found in imperfection, both individually and collectively.

In my endeavor to create musical journeys that move, transform and transcend, I offer you a glimpse, an invitation - to travel in the way that I do when I play and create, to tap into the energy of the collective sound and embark on a journey, into the unexplored parts of your being."
